Camp Regis-Applejack

My daughter has gone for the last 4 years ans has loved it so much the staff is wonderful. And the owner is caring and thoughtful

I went here for 6 years, and although the camp is not what it used to be. It is still an amazing place, and is my second home. There are so many memories made here, and it taught me so many vaulable lessons, and you meet some of your best friends here. The people here are some of the most incredible people that you would not find anywhere else. It is a place where you can be yourself, and try new things everyday, and learn something new. Something that is nice about this camp is that there are so many different opportunities to do and to try new things, and it has many activities that most camps do not offer. It also offers the opportunity to experience things you may not other wise be able to. I can honestly say that this place is one of a kind, and an incredible one. It has impacted my life greatly, and it will be my summer home.

I was a CRAJ counselor in the 2000's. Camp was very understaffed, with child ratios of 1-20 and sometimes 1-25. The only reason children were well-taken care of was because the counselors my year made extraordinary efforts to be responsible--not because the administration was paying a lick of attention. Because camp was so understaffed, we often did not get our hour a day off, resulting in counselors who had not showered in three or four days. Our relationships with the administration was terrible. "International atmosphere"? Try "hiring foreigners who don't know their rights and can be treated like crap because they have no way to leave." The administration ran us ragged-working 15-19 hour days, and refused to discipline campers, at one point telling me "campers' parents paid a lot of money for them to have fun, and it's your job to make sure they have fun." I thought my job was to mentor and keep the kids safe! All couselors, including the men, cried at some point.
